Thoroughly reprocess the endoscope before returning it for repair. Improperly
reprocessed equipment poses an infection control risk to each person who handles
the endoscope within the hospital and at Olympus.
Olympus is not liable for any injury or damage that occurs as a result of repairs
attempted by non-Olympus personnel.
Before returning the endoscope for repair, contact Olympus. With the endoscope, include a description
of the malfunction or damage and the name and telephone number of the individual at your location
who is most familiar with the problem. Also include a repair purchase order. When returning the
endoscope for repair, follow the instructions given in “ Transporting outside the hospital” on page 73.
